Randy was born in St. Louis Missouri and moved with his family to Colorado in 1962. He was raised in Boulder and graduated from Fairview High School in 1975. He credits his family for instilling the nurturing values of “Faith, Hope and Love.” Following service in the US Military, where he added the values of Duty, Honor and Country, he attended Colorado State University studying Wildlife management. For the past 30 years he has worked as a Mason; working up from a laborer to owning Luallin Masonry. Like Governor Johnson, who also built his own business, Randy’s interests include running long distance (attempted the Leadville 100 and co-directed the Coal Creek Cross County Challenge), hunting, hiking (all the states 14ers and some of the 7 summits of the world), history (particularly the west), traveling (I have been all over the world) and writing (one novel, Maroons- a Human Epic). Randy also serves as a volunteer for the Cub Scouts, Indian Guides, Public Access Television, Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, and Habitat for Humanity.”
